The Player that Can't Level Up

Chapter 315: The Price of Corruption (3)

Chapter 315: The Price of Corruption (3)

Alberto looked immensely relieved. Since he had been alone, he could only focus on protecting the people outside from the two angels fight. Consequently, he couldnt deal with the monsters terrorizing the people.

Area Barrier, Alberto had been using this skill nonstop. He would use the skill, empty his mana reserve, quickly refill it, and then execute the skill again. This cycle had pushed him to his limit. After all, the hardest thing for support players was providing support to players stronger than them.

So, when Alberto saw Tao Chen and the reinforcements, his face brightened. Just as Hamiel had promised, more help had arrived.

Im so relieved, Alberto whispered when he heard the citizens' screams and the monsters roars decreasing. He didnt know the details, but it was evident that some powerful players had arrived to help.

Kaboom!

Alberto looked up at the sky again. It appeared that the battle between Hamiel and Castro was also winding down. While Hamiel attacked relentlessly, Castro could only barely defend himself.

But why does he look so unhappy? Alberto wondered. Even though Hamiel was about to get his revenge, his face had a frown. Was he feeling guilty that he had to kill his kind?

No, that doesnt make sense. Earlier, he was so furious at Castro.

Besides, Hamiel was going all out to kill his enemy. It was hard to believe he would be feeling guilty. But then, why did Hamiel look upset?

Alberto was curious, but he didnt get much time to wonder because he sensed that someone had pierced his barrier and was approaching him.

Is it an ally or an enemy? Alberto shivered and reached out for the dagger in his inner pocket. He could buy Hamiel a bit of time if he used his skill. He wouldnt make it out alive, but at least Hamiel would get to focus on just one enemy.

Alberto relaxed a bit as he sensed the intruder getting closer.

This familiar energy He realized that whoever was approaching him was someone he knew. He was one of the greatest players in the support category, and his ability to detect energies was impeccable. Once he met someone, he never failed to recognize their energy later.

Alberto was relieved because things could have gone very badly if an enemy had arrived while Hamiel and Castro were still fighting.

Long time no see! a familiar voice greeted him from afar.

Alberto called out his name, Heo Sung-Hoon!

But perhaps Alberto shouldnt have become so optimistic and excited.

Kaboom!

Castros attack worked for the first time, and Hamiel almost fell to the ground. Almost simultaneously, the monsters which Hamiels feathers had incapacitated were released.

Kwerrrk! the monsters roared.

No! Alberto screamed. The monsters rushed toward Heo Sung-Hoon, who seemingly had no time to defend himself. He was powerful, but the Heo Sung-Hoon Alberto knew wasnt strong enough to handle these monsters.

Whoosh!

Kierk! several monsters shrieked in pain.

What the hell? Alberto couldnt hide his shock. He had just seen Heo Sung-Hoon pierce three monsters with his pike in one swing. Heo Sung-Hoon dealt with the freed monsters quickly before Hamiels feathers returned to bind them again.

Heo Sung-Hoon walked up to Alberto, who was still in shock. Haa Reinforcements are finally here.

He didnt even mention what he had just done, as if it was no big deal. More help will arrive soon. You did well holding down the fort.

Ah okay

I dont think I can help with that fight, though, Heo Sung-Hoon said as he looked up.

Alberto, still looking confused, whispered, When did you become so powerful?

Kaboom!

Alberto had many questions, but he never got the chance. A bright light engulfed the Colosseum, blinding all of them. Alberto didnt panic, and instead, he used his skill. He yelled, Vision!

Hamiel asked, You still havent shown your true form, have you?

Even though Hamiel was winning, there was a reason he looked upset. He screamed, Show your real self!

Some angels had two different forms. The top three classes of angels were true apostles of God. Although their Roots had changed, Hamiel and the two dead angels used to be Gods apostles, so Hamiel could see that Castro was a Cherub.

And the Cherubs made up one of the top three classes.

If you insist on maintaining that form Hamiels eyes turned dark. Death, sorcerous energy, and the distorted form of his divine energy were all becoming thicker. He desperately wanted revenge, but Hamiel wanted to kill Castro when he was at his best. Hamiel wanted to make Castro feel the despair he had felt before.

However, Hamiel could only do one thing if Castro continued fighting in this form.

Ill have to just kill you now. Hamiels speed increased. He could use more power, thanks to his evolution. And consequently, the number of Castros injuries increased every time Hamiel flapped his wings.

Its finally time, Castro opened his lips for the first time.

Whoosh.

The sky was now filled with light beams. Hamiels power devoured as much as it could, but there was just too much divine power around.

Hamiel couldn't eat all the light beams.

Ugh Hamiel groaned and took a step back. He seemed to be in pain, but he was excited. The situation was worsening, but Hamiel was excited because Castro was finally transforming.

Lets do this, Hamiel whispered as he watched Castro turning into a beast with the protection of the light beam around him.

Five horns Hamiel mumbled. Instead of wings, Castros new form had five horns on its forehead. There were different levels among the Cherubs, and this sight proved that Castro was among the highest-ranking angels.

Youre definitely an important one, Hamiel said in pleasure.

...

It was not only the Colosseum that experienced a significant change in the situation. The world outside the Colosseum was changing as well. In fact, the thick divine energy was changing the entirety of Rome.

Countless enemy angels transformed into their real forms and got ready to fight.

Kwerrrk!

From far away, the monsters roars rang. Along with the angels, the Gods Tears addicts were also transforming. Among the citizens, some werent completely addicted to Gods Tears. Now, even those citizens were transforming into monsters. As for those completely addicted to Gods Tears, they were changing into giant beasts, similar to the ones that had first attacked the Colosseum.

Dammit, Alberto cursed when he saw several building-sized monsters appearing all around Rome.

Just give me a minute. Hamiel turned away from Castro and toward Alberto and announced, Ill take care of him quickly and help you.

Gi-Gyu had ordered him to destroy Castro, and Hamiel would do it no matter what. After all, it was his master and saviors command. But Hamiel couldnt do anything yet because Castro wasnt done transforming. It was impossible to defeat a Cherub mid-transformation, although they could have perhaps done it if they had Gi-Gyu here. This was because while a Cherub transformed, the light beam gave it an immortal-like regeneration power.

Ill kill him after the transformation is over. Hamiel promised himself. His black wings enveloped him. It looked like he was trying to protect himself from the light beams divine light, but that wasnt true. Hamiel, now looking like a black egg, was exuding a giant amount of Death.

Kwerrrk! The beast, Castro, cried out. The entire Colosseum was shaking, and so was Castros energy.

At that time, Hamiels wings opened, revealing a completely different figure. His giant wings looked the same, but now, his temples had tiny wings covering his eyes.

Alberto stammered, A-a demon?

Hamiel looked like a demon from Greek mythology. On one corner of his forehead, a long horn appeared as well.

I have also been given Hamiel smirked in joy. A new form.

It was Hamiel who made the first move. One of his wings pierced the newly awakened beasts shoulder.

This is the price of being a fallen angel. Hamiel thought. He had lost his identity as an angel, but he had no regrets.

Hamiel muttered, I have made the choice willingly.
